Jury takes break in ex-cops' case

May 19, 2001

CICERO — Deliberations are scheduled to resume Monday for a jury weighing a lawsuit filed by Cicero's former police chief and his top deputy.

David Niebur, the former chief, and Philip Bue sued after alleging they were fired in 1998 for cooperating with an FBI probe of town corruption. They are seeking more than $1 million each in punitive and compensatory damages.
